Be it `known that We,` THOMAS S. GATEs Auand ALEXANDER H. FEITOHEY, bothot Golumbus, in the State of Ohio, have invented i an ImprovementfinVapor-Burners; and we do hereby declare theiollowin g, taken in con-`nectionwith the drawings which accompany w and form part of thisspecification, is a description of our invention sufficient to enablethoseskilled in the art to practice it. a y `The invention is an 1additional improvement upon `that forwhich we obtained Letters @PatentJune 1, 1869, numbered 90,659, and in which a supplemental burner ororifice from the chamber of the main burner formed a lfcommunication orpassage from it to a vertiv cal tube attached to the side of` such mainburner, the supplemental burner serving to l facilitate and hastenthe`generation `of gas from the uid inthe supply-pipe, fed from a vessel orfount, `sufficiently elevated, in a manner Well known. f i

l In that patent "the auxiliary burner or Oril ceformed a directcommunication or passage from the main burner or gas-chamber (marked a Bin `the accompanying sectional drawing,

"forming partof this specilication) to the upperportion of` the verticaltube, marked E,land ata point above `the generatingaopchamberG. l Y l Wealso obtained `Letters Patent foran improvement uponsaid constructedburner, Aul gust 17, 1869, numbered 93,698, inwhich we 1 l i found manydecided advantages in dispensing l with anyopening between the parts Band E,

that we gain manyadvantages by 'constructing our burner as representedby the following "gures, to wit, (reference being had `to the`accompanying drawings:)

a Specification forwtnlqmprtofletters Patent o. 115,189, dated May 23,1871.

patent of June 1, 1869, numbered 90,659; but

said opening, marked C, is not now made directly into the vertical tubeE, but into an inner and smaller tube, closed at the top, andpermanently attached to the side of the said chamber B. The lower end ofsaid smaller tube, marked K, projects beyond the chamber B, as is seenin Fig. 4;, and :reaches apoint over the generating-chamber G, for thepurpose hereinafter shown.

Together withthis change in the construction, we also` construct theburner in two parts, (more particularly shown in Figs. 3 and 4,) so thesame can be easily taken apart and cleaned when necessary, and also thatthe size and strength of the illuminating flame can be easily regulatedby admitting more or less oxygen, by means of raising or lowering thechamber B, as the smaller tube K' slides down into the'vertical tube E,and, being attached to the chamber B, forms a hold-fast to the two partsof the burner.

The other parts, A, D, B, F, and H, are substantially the same inconstruction as in said patent of June 1, 1869, A being the slit for theexit of the gas for illuminating; D, the opening to admit oxygen intothe gas-cham ber; B, the gas-chamber, of the length ordinarily used inordinary table or stand lamps, yet the same may be constructed of anylength, from one half inch to three feet, from the opening C to the slitA, as may be suitable to different styles of lamps; F, the pin.

struction are that the passage of the gas or vapor through the auxiliaryjet C 'into and down to the lower end of the smaller tube K,

-where it is ignited and burns, while 'it furnishes heat to thegenerating-chamber G, for generating purposes, at the same 4point asshown in our patent of August 17, 1869, and numbered 93,698, it also isperfectly noiseless in its operation.

rlhere is no smoke arising from this heatingjet, as from its manner ofconstruction the smoke is all consumed in the tube E. The flame oftheheating-jet 'cannot rise high enough to be Visible above the top of thetube E, and consequently cannot interfere with the illuminating name.

The burner can easily be adjusted, taken apart, cleaned, and placedtogether again.

We claim- The application and attachment of the small i tube orconductor K, of such different lengths and shapes as may be required, tothe mixing or gas chamber B, communicating therewith at any suitabledistance beyond the oxygenholes D, for the purpose of conducting aportion ot' the oxygenized vapor back to the outer surface of thegenerating-chamber G for heating purposes.
